THE GIRL ON A MOTORCYCLE

United Kingdom, France, 1968
Directed by Jack Cardiff
With Alain Delon, Marianne Faithfull
Approx. 91 min. DCP restoration.


Bored housewife Marianne Faithfull bolts from her home in the French countryside on her prized motorbike to rendezvous with lover Alain Delon. Wearing nothing but a form-fitting leather one-piece (the film was re-released in the U.S. as NAKED UNDER LEATHER), she indulges in psychedelic and erotic reveries as she recalls their affair. Directed by legendary cinematographer Jack Cardiff (THE RED SHOES) in pulsating psychedelic hues.
